Maybe they won’t win. But it’s inevitable that the leading Democratic candidate will have a position on immigration just as far right as Trump’s. Trump will of course be more performatively cruel about it. The Democrat won’t want to make big shows out of torturing innocent people. But they won’t actually want to defund ICE, to decrease the number of ICE agents, or to close any of these facilities. ICE funding has only gone up and up and up, regardless of what party is running things.
